SPONSORSHIP REQUEST FOR CHILDREN FILM FESTIVAL
Welcome to (KidFlix)__________, the first annual International Children’s Film Festival Dear Sponsors, KidFlix provides a forum for children and their families to celebrate the art of cinema and to showcase the role that films play in children’s artistic and educational lives. We offer a diverse lineup of films from around the world, including animation, documentaries, feature films and student films. The festival is a great place to expose your company to the families of the neighbourhood in a fun, lively mix of film screenings, workshops, and celebrity appearances. Think of your sponsorship of the Film Festival as a wonderful opportunity for your organization to:
· allow children and their families to enjoy a fabulous family event.
· take part in an extensive media and field marketing campaign preceding and during the event.
· ensure the visibility of your company at a fun, high-traffic event attended by thousands of families.
Sponsorship packages provide our organization with goods, services and financial support necessary for hosting this brand new event- the first International children’s film festival in Kolkata. We will custom tailor our sponsorship packages and would be pleased to discuss with you your specific interests as an individual or company.
1. Three Ways We Increase Your Visibility:
Provide a Fun and Educational Event for Families in a Premiere Location – The Historic Fun City in AQUATICA.
The Fun City is one of the most highly visited attractions in the Aquatica Bay area, and is a perfect home for the festival, Host to over 100 events throughout the year, Fun City is one of the favourite places to relax and have fun.
· Fun City in Aquatica is the region’s preeminent entertainment district, drawing from a wide base of residents and tourists alike, with an eclectic mix of dining, shopping and historic appeal.
· 25,000 regular visitors flock to Fun City on any given weekend night.

Our festival is more than a destination, it’s a valuable community resource for electronic communication.

With a focus on reaching tech-savvy kids throughout the area, and with links to sponsoring websites-Fun City, Economic Times and Start Theatres—this will be one of our primary marketing tools.
